With this catalog of images taken by the Athletic Model Guild, I was able to identify the model in the photograph as Mike Powers, whose square jaw is unmistakable.

Other models in this index are John Shraeder, Glenn Forde, Howe, Buddy Wilson, Peary Sanders, Bob Delmonteque (with a note that Delmonteque is selling self-portraits), Steve Revere, John Holden, Bob McKibbon, Louis Tarr, Chuck Rybonski, George Winters, Chuck Collins, Bob Looke with Bob Knudson, Ed Benson, Tom Tompson, Duane Sands, Deal posing with Louis Tarr and Steve Revere, John Merritt, Tommy Meyers posing with Dave Ross, Tex Davis, Tom King, Blackie Page, Charles Rybonski posing with Bob McCune, Harold Randolph, Ed McDaniel, John Svenn, Louie Rightmire, Steve Sirfoso, Howard Johnson, Booger O'Toole, Jiggs O'Fallon, Larry McCall, Don Buckston, Glenn Burgess.

Going forward, I'll add to the labels "AMG Index" whenever a catalog such as this appears in a post, for quick reference in the future. I see here at least two other models whose photographs have lingered for quite some time in my unidentified pile.

Jim Pappa and Carl Schiedow Photographed by Bruce of Los Angeles

I was pleased to find this photograph of Jim Pappa posing with a sword over Carl Schiedow.

A year or so ago, I emailed and talked on the telephone with Pappa, who was still regularly working out.

He had originally contacted me to introduce me to his son, Jimmy's band, Dinner Music for the Gods, which is quite good. You can check out their music and learn more about the band by visiting their website.

If you weren't in your teens or older in 1959, you likely haven't heard of Pappa's first wife, Carole Tregoff, who was secretly having an affair with a doctor while still married to Pappa. On July 18, 1959, she and the doctor murdered the doctor's wife. The subsequent trials became a global sensation comparable only to something like Brangelina not only divorcing, but one murdering the other. Tregoff was quite beautiful, much too beautiful–the world believed at the time–to be a murderess. When you jump to this website, you can read all about the murder and trials.

Louis Abele Photographed by Al Urban
